Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Total Gastroenterology is Terrible
Worst run medical practice ever!! 3 weeks after a colonoscopy & EGD where the doctor refused to speak with us after the procedure, we went for the follow up visit. After waiting an hour, we met with the doctor who asked us if we brought our paper copy of the surgical report because she didn't have a copy! She also did not have a copy of the pathology report. Fortunately we did have a copy, because we picked up from her office yesterday. How she was unable to have copies of either report is beyond me, especially as she had an extra hour beyond our appointment time to find and review them. So after no information after the procedure, we got her memory of a procedure she didn't perform. Based on the complete turnover of staff in the two months we've been going there, the callous and disrespectful patient treatment, the lack of follow up to get prescriptions written and the Merceds G wagon parked out front, these doctors seem to be in this purely for the money. Avoid!

She denies much needed pain meds.
She has a hard time admitting mistakes. They aren't good for getting awards.

Over scheduled dr with a rude staff.
If I could rate my visit with Dr Das with a 0 out of five I would. I waited 3 hrs to see her and when I finally did see her she didn’t even examine me. She said she could remove my gallbladder but had little knowledge when it came to my condition Barrett’s Esophagus. She told me her partner was more knowledgeable in that field and said I should see him. I got in 3 days later to see him and only waited 20 mins. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about my gallbladder removal as well as my Barrett’s Esophagus. He examined me and said I had a hernia behind my belly button as well and said he could remove the gallbladder and hernia soon, but the staff said otherwise. They seemed to think I was locked in with Dr Das even though I felt more comfortable with Dr Toomy. An office administrator called to confirm my feelings saying I should be able to choose my dr only to be told later from an office staff worker that in their practice drs don’t steal patients from other drs

Unprepared, Arrogant and Rude
After looking at my chart for less than 1 minute, Dr. Das proceeded to argue with me that I still have a tumor when two MRI's three months apart show no evidence of tumor or lymph node involvement. She wasn't prepared, she was arrogant and argumentative. I wouldn't put my life in her hands. Do not recommend her.

Dr Das is a smart, to the point and compassionate doctor. I was so impressed with her care of my elderly mother that I sought her out for my health issue. She quickly diagnosed my problem with a physical exam and put me on a treatment plan. Her office staff and nurses are very kind and helpful.
